Being that it was my first time making beats I didn’t try to manually manufacture each beat for longer than about a minute. Because I just thought it would be hard to do. And keep in mind I made this whole album in BandLab. S/O BandLab and the person that put me on to it. So each song is about a minute long.

Plus, I made all these songs while I was homeless. So I would be in odd places like on the bus, in a motel, in a tent, behind a building, at a park ect. And that in its self was a challenge for me to concentrate and not get distracted by background noise or my souroundings.

So these songs served as a sort of therapy, peace and escape from that. And I’m just so thankful that I was able to keep them all positive and now share them with the world!

FOCUSED ON LOVE

As always be safe, be blessed and be happy. Keep the faith in Jesus Christ.

Inspiration For Song

This one was actually inspired by “I Get Up” from The Warm Up mixtape by J. Cole

I wrote the lyrics in December and immediately knew I wanted to put this out next. My first idea was to just sing over the instrumental but experience has taught me that posting that would or could be a bit unkind to the goal.

So, I tried to recreate it the best I could. I never wanted to make beats but for the last couple of years that’s what I’ve been doing lol and there you have it.

New Music “Glitter” in memory of my Dad…OUT NOW

Image
~ lightmusick ~ Leave a comment

My Dad called the music he made when he was here GlitterFunk. So in remembrance of him I titled this third installment of the Rebirth Series “Glitter” and I just know he’s smiling.

Listen

Background

The photo on the cover is my Dad and I at my university graduation. Go FSU, R.I.P. Bobby Bowden (I saw him coach in person). The balloons and the photo were provided by a very very very nice gal.

In addition to those reasons for this song being special the tune also uses a variation of my Dad’s signature style from when he plays keyboard (I used the present tense because I know he’s still playing keyboards in Heaven). You can hear a piece of him on the uptempo part of the song that has the most noticeable groove. In short, one infinite time for my Dad, LONG LIVE NECKBZ !!! Red, Black, and Gold were some of his favorite colors, which inspired the cover art.

I decided to call the first three songs of me back on the keyboard the Rebirth Series because I feel like it’s the rebirth of the Light Musick Movement.

New Music: “Gravity” OUT NOW on keys 🎹

Image
~ lightmusick ~ Leave a comment

Hey world, we’re back with another piano/keyboard piece of Light Musick. I feel like I was gifted this mini masterpiece, if you will, because I totally let the instrument and the vibes dictate the flow.

Listen

Background

If you noticed we just dropped “Sad But Happy” late last month. So the turnaround time on this new release was not at all planned. It was totally organic for the most part.

While working on “Sad But Happy” at one point in the process there was a solo. But we ended up not keeping it. But playing a free flowing solo just brought back so many musical memories and it was super fun. From that I stumbled on some of my old riffs that got me excited. So it was there that the origins of “Gravity” began.

The Title

I titled this piece “Gravity” because for one it just sounded really heavy and dramatic especially with the slow but steady simple bass line grounding out the tune. But also because it sounds like (to me) the soundtrack for the state of the world we are living in right now with all of this chaos and conflict.

In short it sounds like the end in the “End Times” that we are living through globally and that The Holy Bible speaks of repeatedly. The theme or recurring melody almost sounds like a person crying out trying to warn people in a way. And the clusters of riffs are like maybe the scramble we are all in right now all around the world trying to figure out what to do next as many protest. The final riff sounds a bit sad right before a piece of the main theme reiterates the same sentiments held true all throughout.

Cover

I really just felt this song down in my bones. And we chose the aqua color for the cover to kind of represent the blue part of the flame; the hottest part. And I thought it would be neat to put the definition of “Gravity” on the cover (straight from the dictionary) because even to my surprise the first definition is importance or seriousness. And this is a very serious time in world history, human existence, everything. I know the first definition which probably comes to mind is the force holding everybody on the ground. Hope you enjoy “Gravity”

New Music: “Sad But Happy” on keys 🎹

Excited to share a new song we’ve been working on everyday since late Winter/early Spring this year.

Although we started out dropping Christian Hip Hop albums, EPs, and singles since 2014 (all now in private collection), I definitely feel like this is the first true authentic piece of original Light Musick.

I haven’t played piano/keyboard this much since elementary school. But it’s really like riding a bike. I would be remiss if I didn’t shout out my Dad who steered me towards the keys at an early age. LONG LIVE NECKBZ! We’ve cultivated a new sound!

Listen

Background

The title of the song came to me after reading the verse from The Holy Bible at 2 Corinthians 6:10 KJV – “… As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. …” Amen! This is such a beautiful Scripture, I think, because it encompasses the life of a Christian completely in that one verse! And as I was arranging and composing this song I felt sad on some parts but happy on others. Especially when I reflect on my life’s journey thus far, particularly about my Dad, who is on my t-shirt with his band on the cover, his passing is still so sad. But he instilled all of my artistry in me. He too is a musician and artist. And just the state of the world right now with this pandemic, countries fighting, economic collapse, global warming… all of this conflict is just extremely sad.

In contrast, I have always been an optimistic person regardless of whatever and just so grateful for any and every little thing and if you’ve seen me walking around Atlanta, you know I got my music in my ears and I’m jamming hard lol. So keep a smile on yo face!

Oh, and we released this (7-22-2021) truly independently solely on our own social media channels/pages (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok) all @ LightMusick just to get it out quickly with the least amount of barriers as possible. Hope you like “Sad But Happy” ☹️🙂
